With the remarkable advancements in technology, humanity has made significant strides in exploring space and accessing other planets. However, what lies beneath the Earth’s surface remains a mystery.
Agartha and the “Hollow Earth” Theory
Mythical tales of the Atlantean and Lemurian kingdoms have captivated many explorers who are eager to uncover the world’s mysteries.
Additionally, historians are intrigued by various accounts of the world just beneath us, such as “Hades’ Hell” in Greek mythology, particularly the Agartha civilization.
Although often associated with esotericism and mythology, the concept of Agartha has played a significant role in popularizing the “Hollow Earth” theory.
Agartha is described as a utopian city located at the Earth’s core, with a civilization nourished by a separate Sun. Agartha is closely linked to Shamballa, a prominent feature in Vajrayana Buddhism, alongside the Kalachakra teachings of Tibet.
Existing hypotheses about Agartha suggest that its inhabitants possess extraordinary intelligence and a superior way of life compared to their counterparts on Earth.
Meanwhile, according to Hindu mythology, Agartha is the lost land of the Aryavartas, a superior race that was forced to retreat into vast caves and tunnels leading to their kingdom.
Moreover, scriptures indicate that Agartha may be the dwelling place of the Nagas, a race of powerful half-human, half-serpent deities who reside in the lowest layer of the hollow Earth, known as Patala.
One of the earliest concepts of a hollow Earth was proposed by Edmond Halley, the discoverer of Halley’s Comet. He suggested this theory in the 17th century, claiming that the Earth comprises several concentric shells separated by individual atmospheres, with the outermost layer approximately 800 km thick.
Furthermore, according to Halley, natural phenomena such as geomagnetic variations and the Aurora Borealis are caused by these layers moving independently of one another. He presented this theory in 1692 based on measurements of the magnetic field and knowledge of the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon on Earth.
This idea attracted many supporters, and Edmond Halley’s model of the hollow Earth was refined in the years that followed. The theory of multiple worlds separated by different atmospheres paved the way for a simpler perspective on the hollow Earth. According to this theory, each layer of the Earth has a Sun at its center, nurturing a lush, habitable environment.
More than a century later, Halley’s theory was elaborated upon by John Cleves Symmes, who published a paper expressing his intention to journey to the interior of the Earth. He dedicated the remainder of his life to seeking support for this expedition.
He succeeded in lobbying Congress to vote on funding for his expedition. Although the idea was later dismissed, Symmes’s enthusiasm remained undeterred. He continued to promote the concept of a hollow Earth, speaking, writing articles, and engaging in debates until his death in 1829.
Is our Earth hollow?
The Diary of Admiral Richard E. Byrd
Despite the support for the hollow Earth theory, no one had truly encountered the Agartha civilization until 1947, when the story of Admiral Richard E. Byrd of the United States Navy sparked curiosity about beings living underground.
According to an entry in his diary written during his flight to the polar region, Byrd encountered a warm, lush climate inhabited by mammoth-like creatures and an ancient race that once resided on Earth. His aircraft was guided in mid-air and forced to land by beings from the center of the Earth.
Upon landing, he met envoys from a civilization that many believe to be the mythical Agartha. They expressed concern regarding humanity’s use of atomic bombs during World War II and sent Byrd back to the United States as an ambassador to communicate their sentiments.
However, details in Admiral Byrd’s diary have been met with skepticism, as some argue that he may never have reached the Arctic on his expeditions.
Regardless of the reliability of Admiral Byrd’s writings, it is important to note the similarities between his accounts and descriptions of ancient civilizations like Atlantis and Lemuria.
Even today, evidence of fish bones and fossilized coral can be found in the arid regions north of the Himalayas, believed to have once been Shamballa or Shangri-La.
Although there is no evidence to substantiate the existence of more advanced civilizations at the Earth’s core, related stories continue to generate much speculation.
Could there be a thriving kingdom just beneath us? What connection do they have to our world? What will we do if we discover their existence and the knowledge they conceal? The quest for the truth regarding the potential existence of a civilization within the hollow Earth continues.
